Who would *still* be unable to play Halo or World of Warcraft :-)

Or, come to think of it, watch the ads on any of those PPC Linux
systems demonstrated at CLUG last night - "Flash for Linux" has
turned out to mean "Flash for x86 Linux - what other CPUs are
there anyway?"

The networking ad could certainly have included the Linux
character demonstrating how he could share porn faster, more
reliably, and without any pesky copy protection :-)
